#COVID19: Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu Tests Positive For Corona Virus

Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has tested positive for COVID19.

The state Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, disclosed this on Twitter on Saturday evening, December 12.

On Friday December 11, Governor Sanwo-Olu went into isolation after one of his aides tested positive for the novel virus.

Abayomi’s statement reads;

”Following Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19, a PCR test performed yesterday, the 11th of December, has confirmed that he has indeed been infected with the virus, which is supported by mild symptoms and fatigue typical of a mild case of COVID.

Mr. Governor is receiving treatment and is being closely monitored at home by the very experienced State COVID-19 clinical team from IDH Yaba.

Mr. Sanwo-Olu is doing well on treatment and rest and we are confident that he will recover quickly and clear the virus. We are seeing slightly increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases in clusters in Lagos and all residents and visitors should strictly adhere to the prescribed advisories of safe distancing, mask-wearing, good hand and respiratory hygiene and avoidance of unnecessary or large gatherings.

The festive season is likely to create the opportunity for the virus to spread if we are not compliant with the regulations established by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) for inbound travellers and the festive season celebrations. All inbound travellers must be COVID-19 negative by PCR before they board a flight to Nigeria and must self-isolate on arrival and undergo a pre-booked test on Day Seven of arrival in Nigeria.

Lagosians should keep celebrations to a minimum and be observant and responsible in their interactions. The significant gains achieved to date in containing COVID-19 in Lagos, which has allowed us to carefully reopen the economy, must not be reversed.

No one is immune to this virus and it is certainly still circulating in the community.

Please join me in praying and wishing the Incident Commander of the Lagos State COVID-19 response, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a speedy recovery so he can return to normal duties as soon as possible.

I will be keeping the public informed regularly of Mr. Governor’s recovery and wellbeing.

Professor Akin Abayomi

Honourable Commissioner for Health

12th December 2020”

Biodun Fatoyinbo Spotted At Shiloh 2020, Nigerians React

Controversial Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo’s presence as a guest at the annual Shiloh conference organised by the Living Faith Church Worldwide is generating controversy online.

This year’s Shiloh themed “Turnaround Encounters” holds from December 8 – 13.

Recall that Fatoyinbo was enmeshed in a rape controversy involving Busola Dakolo, the wife of popular gospel singer, Timi Dakolo, in June 2019.

She said that the popular pastor raped her twice before she turned 18.

The allegations went viral on social media, with some saying it had triggered Nigeria’s #MeToo moment.

The allegation also forced the pastor to go on “leave of absence from the pulpit” for weeks because it was the “right thing to do”.

He, however, denied any wrongdoing and has since returned to the pulpit.

Despite the controversy generated by the accusation, the cleric was at the 2019 Shiloh and repeated same this year.

In June 2020, Busola Dakolo said she was under pressure to bury the case.

Many Nigerians who took to Twitter since Wednesday when Fatoyinbo’s presence was announced said that the controversial cleric should not be attending such gatherings until the “damning” allegations against him were disproved.

Update: Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty to Federal Gun Charge

American rapper, Lil Wayne pleaded guilty on Friday to a federal charge that he possessed a weapon despite being a convicted felon, and faces up to 10 years in prison.

The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, admitted possessing the .45 calibre gun and six rounds of ammunition after his private plane was searched on arriving in Miami from California on 23 December 2019.

A search warrant said the father-of-four told investigators the gun was a Father’s Day gift.

He entered the plea during a hearing held remotely before U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams.

“Your honor, I plead guilty to the charge,” Carter told the judge.

The federal charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, but likely Carter will get far less time than that, according to reports. He is free on $250,000 bail but had to surrender his passport.

The charge stems from a weapons conviction for Carter in New York more than a decade ago, for which he was sentenced to eight months in prison as convicted felons are barred under federal law from possessing firearms.

Carter’s lawyer, Howard Srebnick, said he considered a motion to suppress the search of the plane as a violation of the rapper’s constitutional rights.

“I must say I thought it was a very viable motion. He has decided not to pursue a motion to suppress,” Srebnick said.

The Miami U.S. attorney’s office also said in the news release that investigators found small amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone in a bag belonging to Carter, but he was not charged with any drug crime.

Wayne is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 28.

Kiki Mordi Addresses Claims That She ‘Stole’ Someone’s Idea For #SexForGrades

Kiki Mordi is getting all the nods she deserves. However, she has had to walk thorny valleys because of her success.

Yesterday, another journalist –Ruona Meyer–accused her of refusing to acknowledge another journalist who, Meyer alleged, came up with the idea for #SexForGrades–the highly successful BBC documentary, led by Kiki Mordi, which brought her to the spotlight.

Mordi was dragged on social media by trolls following that accusation.

Now, she has taken to her page to set the records straight. “1st phase of research was already on going when I joined. There were leads already and infact I was one of the leads (another funny story) Most of the other journalists were staff. So do you see how wild it is to accuse me of coming from outside to steal a BBC’s staff story?” she wrote.

And she said a lot more, even addressed the journalist who is alleged to be the mind behind the #SexForGrades story.

Odemwingie Apologises After Calling Out Kanu Nwankwo’s Wife

Popular Nigerian footballer, Osaze Odemwingie has tendered a public apology to Kanu Nwankwo’s family after calling out his wife, Amara Kanu.

Osaze had had an outburst on social when he called out Kanu Nwankwo’s wife for disturbing him with chats which he found disturbing.

According to Odemwingie, he misread meanings to the messages of wanting to talk to him.

In a lengthy post, the retired Nigerian footballer appealed to the Nwankwo’s family while sharing the two snapshots below.

“Picture two shows where my relationship with my Big bro @kingkanu4 was just few months ago. I was misunderstood, acted out of anger or reading too much into the greetings.

I am on same page with Gods people who think the type of liberty they talking about is not good for the world. We can do things innocently and wear cloths with signs and symbols we don’t understand but indirectly representing them.

PRESS BROUGHT A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE INTO THE MATTER BUT MAYBE DOWN TO LACK OF CLARITY OF WHAT UPSET ME.

I MET @amarakanu once at Watford stadium during the charity match for Kanu heart foundation and she seemed to be a lovely and humble person.

APOLOGIES AGAIN FOR ANY OFFENCE. HAD NOTHING TO DO with THE KANU FAMILY BUT RATHER THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN CULTURE ON OUR YOUTHS ( and possibly even some of our politicians who will go to any lengths to live the American dream Mark 8:36).

Don’t know if such thing exists as too curious about life but if it does and it’s an offence then I plead guilty . MAY THE LORD GRANT US WISDOM #amen James 1

New International Version
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:

Trials and Temptations

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. #nigeria #love #respect #forgiveness #jesusislord Philippians 4:8″
